AmericasCardroom, which bought DoylesRoom.com in October, revealed that its Liberty Weekend campaign kicked off last weekend with an inaugural $10,000 guaranteed event that saw 140 players vie for a total prize pool of $13,400. Its first $50,000 Sunday event attracted a field of 178 with ‘nowitsover’ walking away with a top prize of $11,250.

The Liberty Weekend promotion will continue for the next four weekends and will include a special $250,000 guaranteed event on April 15 to mark the one-year anniversary of ‘Black Friday’. This no-limit hold’em tournament will start at midnight UK time with players able to buy-in directly for $39 or win their spot via a series of daily satellites for as little as $1.10.

“The $50,000 guarantees will also award 1,000 points in this month's $60,000 points race while the $10,000 tournaments at 9pm on Saturdays will award 200 points in the $60,000 points race,” read a statement from AmericasCardroom.

“For those who are all about waiting until the last minute, AmericasCardroom is holding a 250-seat super satellite on April 13 for the Liberty quarter million. All players who enter the satellite will earn 1,000 points for April's points race.”
